The US has deployed an observation post on the island, and Japan has started deploying missiles on the island, which is 110 kilometers away from Taiwan.
Japan will deploy air defense missiles and medium-range missiles on the island of Yonaguni, the westernmost part of the country. This was stated by Japanese Defense Minister Koizumi Shinzo during his visit to the island.
The island of Yonaguni is only 110 kilometers away from Taiwan. The deployment of missiles on the island is said to be an expansion of military presence under the most severe and complex security situation since the end of World War II. Japan's move was intended to reduce the risk of attacks from China, but it has instead had the opposite effect. However, Koizumi refused to comment on the situation in Taiwan, stating that he would not discuss "hypothetical scenarios."
"The deployment will help reduce the possibility of our country being attacked by armed forces. The view that this measure will escalate regional tensions is wrong."
A radar for monitoring maritime and aerial conditions has been deployed on the island of Yonaguni, as well as radio reconnaissance units and electronic warfare units. Our country has recently informed the United Nations of its position of being prepared to take self-defense actions. In a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, it was pointed out that if Japan attempts to militarily interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait, China will exercise this right.
